The campaign in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has one the most gripping storylines since Alex Mason was tasked with remembering what the numbers meant. It plunges you into the depths of the Cold War to fully understand the extent of guerrilla and mental warfare that was apparent in the era. Diving into Vietnam and the Soviet Union, players will control “Bell”, the brand-new and fully-customisable protagonist.

After completing nine compulsory levels, Bell will have the secrets of her past revealed, which will then cause the player to choose whether to stick to her new roots and save the world or turn on the likes of Sergeant Frank Woods. Finding out that the Americans have brainwashed Bell, the militant will be faced with two choices: reveal the location of the antagonist “Perseus”, or send them on a ploy mission to Duga, Ukraine.

 Cold War Alternate Endings 1 - Going after Perseus

By opting to hunt down Perseus, Bell will join Russell Adler and the team on a manhunt on the island of Solovetsky, off the coast of Northern Russia. Here you will look to cancel the detonation of the nuclear bombs that are set to blow up Europe, attempting to kill Perseus.

Cold War Alternate Endings 2 - Killing Black Ops

Bell can also choose to send the team to Duga, Ukraine, in a lie which will result in Perseus detonating the nuclear bombs across Europe. Whilst waiting for the exfil, Bell has the opportunity to contact Perseus and set up an ambush. With this choice, Bell will seek vengeance for being brainwashed and will execute the Black Ops forces, which will mean the player will be forced to put a bullet into Frank Woods and Alex Mason.

Cold War Alternate Endings 3 - Giving your life for the cause

Akin to the second ending, Bell will opt to betray Black Ops forces but will not set an ambush. This will see her confront the team face to face in Duga, and tell the side that the bombs are not here, which will result in them being detonated in Europe. Instead of having forces to kill the brigade, Russell Adler will kill Bell before reporting back to the President.
